Award-Winning AP Physics 1 Tutors serving Smithtown, NY

When I was in the ninth grade, one algebra tutor changed my whole perspective on mathematics and showed me that it wasn't as scary as I initially thought. Since then, I realized the power a teacher holds in shaping young minds, and I aim to do the same with my students. Additionally, I have approximately eight years of tutoring experience as well as two years of experience as a co-teacher in an elementary school.

I'm currently a PhD student in economics at Yale University. I also have a BS in physics and math from Yale. Other subjects I enjoy are history, geography, and philosophy, and I dabble in photography and baking. I enjoy helping people understand tricky concepts and solve challenging problems, academic and otherwise.

...taught to me has led me to designed hardware for sustainable energy subsystems. These subsystems are often successful because I'm able to create various plans and step by step procedure similar to the ones I used for my students, before starting the developmental phase.

...I find most comfortable teaching are: SAT Math, Algebra I or II, Trigonometry, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus I, II, or III, Differential Equations, Chemistry, Physics. When I say that I feel most comfortable teaching these subjects, all that means is that I have the most experience teaching these topics. That is not to say that I cannot and don't want to tutor in other subjects. My experience in teaching and tutoring stems from even before I...

...studied two full semesters of General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Physics. During my time at Hopkins, I developed a passion for the sciences and, in turn, grew to enjoy teaching others about their principles.
